Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
A private school in France is an establishment that has not signed an agreement with the State to carry out its activity. The school does not receive any subsidy from the State and therefore charges for admission to its school, which is symbolized by a strong autonomy in the implementation of school programs and freedom in the teaching method.
Non-contractual private education is a segment of private education in France that totals just under three million students. Private non-contractual schools exist from kindergarten to high school, including primary and secondary schools. Three other segments are present, including private education under contract with the state, which is by far the largest in France, and which is often linked to Catholic education.
In 2015, there were more than a thousand schools outside of the contractual framework, one-third of which were religious in nature. The others were bilingual schools, schools using the Montessori method and schools using the Steiner method. The success rate at the baccalaureate in these fee-paying schools is higher than in public and contracted high schools (95% vs. 88%) and these entities are mainly located in the Lyon region, in Brittany, in the Hauts-de-Seine and in the Yvelines. The number of schools opened each year is increasing: from 31 schools opened in 2012 to 157 schools opened in 2018, which testifies to the dynamism of the sector in France.
